Keto diet is terrible for you. You are losing weight because you are sick. It's the refined carbs and sugar that are not good, you just need to get them from whole sources with the fiber and all.

If you interpret no longer being on cholesterol medication, high blood pressure medication, PPI's, along with no longer having elevated AST/ALT levels and elevated triglyceride levels, then yes, I guess I'm terribly sick - for over 3 years now.
Stick to what you know because nutrition is not it.

In my online experience, 90% of people who straight up attack keto like this are vegans who want to keep propping up the dogma that 'animal products = bad for you'. They often also assume that keto = eating only meat.

Because ketosis is forcing your body to create glucose from protein, which is a very energy-demanding process (that is good), but it's also extremely hard on your kidneys.
It is possibly fine to be in ketosis for a little while (and it can serve a medical purpose), but you should absolutely not keep it up long-term.
As with all crash diets where a lot of weight is lost rapidly, the weight is very likely to pile back on when the diet is over.
